Daqi, Kaiyuan Mansion, Quanzhou, a remote fishing village.

Outside a dilapidated wooden house, a richly decorated brocade carriage was parked, and there were several black-clad knights standing with swords on their shoulders, and many onlookers and villagers were crowded around, all with excited faces, and whispering something in twos and threes.

"Is it really the Jin family, the Jin family in Fengcheng?"

"It won't be wrong, looking at the golden logos embroidered on these people, except for the Fengcheng Jin family, it is impossible for the entire Kaiyuan Mansion to have a second one. ”

Shi Ting left his wife and two without news for ten years, he thought he had died in the field, but he didn't expect to climb to the Jin family and send someone back to pick up Shi Mu. It's a pity that Shi Mu's mother has passed away for many years, otherwise the mother and son will have endless glory and wealth in the future. ”

"Glory and wealth! This is not necessarily, didn't you hear what the Jin family said just now, saying that Shi Ting was already the aunt of the Jin family, if Shi Mu's mother had not passed away, Shi Ting would not have dared to send someone to pick up Shi Mu at all. ”

"Anyway, Shi Mu can be regarded as having survived, he was an orphan yesterday, and today he has become a young master. ”

......

"My father is seriously ill in bed, and I have a younger sister?" Shi Mu stared at the old man in green shirt in front of him and asked slowly.

He is only fourteen years old, because of the perennial sea breeze, his skin is slightly black and red, but he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is half a head taller than the average peer.

"Yes, the old man is very sick this time, and it is likely that he will not be able to survive it, so the lady sent the old slave to pick up the young master Shi over, so that he can see the master for the last time. The old man in the green shirt replied with a smile.

"Madam, since he has abandoned his mother for so many years, why should he come to recognize me as a son now? Go back, I won't go with you to the Kim family. The young man said without hesitation with a gloomy face.

"Ahem! Young Master Shi is afraid that he has misunderstood the master, in fact, the reason why the master has not returned to the village all these years is actually because of his suffering, as long as the young master and the master meet in person, all misunderstandings can be resolved. The old man coughed lightly and said again.

"Hmph, even if you say it, you can't change the man's abandonment of his wife. Needless to say. The boy snorted coldly.

When the old man in the green shirt heard this, he finally frowned, and after looking at the young man carefully, he said again as if he had made up his mind:

"In the past few years, the medicinal herbs that Young Master has purchased in the town have not been unexpectedly cheap? In addition, when the head of the martial arts hall in the county town taught the young master's fists and feet, did he charge much lower fees than other disciples! Also, whether the fish and shrimp that Young Master Shi caught at sea were robbed by others when they arrived in the town, and few people went to bargain. ”

"What do you mean, that person arranged all these things?" the young man's face changed, and he couldn't help asking.

"I don't know if the master personally arranged it, but these are indeed ordered by the lady herself. The old man in the green shirt replied with a smile.

When the young man heard this, his face was cloudy and uncertain, and he hesitated.

"By the way, hasn't Young Master Shi been cultivating the art of quenching the body, it seems that he must really want to become a real martial artist. Madame had instructed the old slave before he came. As long as the young master is willing to agree to see the master, she will find a way to give Young Master Shi a chance to enter the Kaiyuan Martial Academy, but whether she can really be admitted at that time depends on Young Master Shi's own ability. The old man in the green shirt finally said the biggest reliance on this trip.

"Kaiyuan Martial Academy?" the young man was a little moved.

"Since the young master is a person who practices martial arts, he should be very clear that the four major martial arts academies in his country only recruit them once in five years, and the two major conditions for being able to participate in the admission test must be a person who has completed the quenching of the body under the age of fifteen and has comprehended the sense of qi. After all, only those who comprehend qi can cultivate true qi, open up the meridians, and thus become a true martial artist. However, if you want to comprehend the qi sense, you must take the qi spirit pill to guide it, and its price is so high that even the Jin family can only get together about ten pills each time. If Young Master Shi only relied on his own words, he might not be able to achieve his wish in this life. The old man in the green shirt continued unhurriedly.

The young man was silent, and only after a long time did he say coldly:

"Come back in three days, and I'll get back to you then. ”

"Okay, the old slave will wait for good news for three more days. Seeing this, the old man in the green shirt knew that the young man had made up his mind, so he did not continue to persuade him, and immediately bowed slightly to say goodbye.

......

"Cheng Steward, we're really going back like this. It's better to take people away directly, why waste more time. Not far from the small fishing village when the group of people gathered in the carriage, a burly knight couldn't help but ask.

"What nonsense, although Young Master Shi is not the descendant of the Jin family, he is the master's biological flesh and blood. We will come this time, as long as we bring them back in a safe and secure manner, and we must not show any neglect and contempt. Otherwise, with the relationship between the lady and the master, after knowing this matter, we will definitely not be able to explain the past. When the old man in the green shirt heard this, his face suddenly sank, and he reprimanded.

"Yes, the little brain is confused. The burly knight was a little frightened.

At this moment, a figure suddenly flickered on the side of the road, and another black-clothed knight in the same dress flashed out, bowed behind the old man, and hurriedly said:

"Cheng Steward, the brothers found the Biao brothers of the fifth master nearby, what do you think should be done?"

"Hmph, it seems that the fifth master has not given up his original plan, the Biao brothers are all in the early stage of the day after tomorrow, and only I can deal with it. A few of you are waiting here, you lead the way, and I will personally go over and take them out. After the old man in the green shirt frowned, he said categorically.

"Yes"

The knight moved, and immediately turned and ran the way he came.

The old man in the green shirt "whoosh", fell directly from the horse, and rushed away with the knight, his body was extremely light, as if he had no weight at all, and disappeared in the woods not far away in a short time.

The burly knight and the rest of the people were still huddled around the carriage and honestly stayed where they were.

......

In the evening, on a nameless mound a mile away from the fishing village, under the faint moonlight, Shi Mu knelt alone in front of a slightly raised grave, and on a pale yellow stone tablet in front of the tomb, there were several big black characters such as "The Curtain of the King of Shimen" written on it.

"Mother, you never thought that my father did not die, but married a wife outside. But don't worry, what I promised will be done. When my father left you, I used the excuse of becoming a warrior to pursue my dream, and then Mu'er will definitely become a real warrior, or the most powerful warrior in the world, so that you can be blind under the Nine Springs!"

The boy muttered a few words in front of the grave, then stood up, and after moving his hands and feet, he actually started to punch in front of the grave.

In the sound of "popping" bones, the boy's movements gradually changed from slow to fast, his body was like a tiger, and after a cup of tea, he saw the shadows of the fists rolling, and the nearby soil was blown up with a layer of yellow dust and mist, completely submerging the young man's figure.

"Whoosh"

A figure rushed out of the morning mist and slammed its fist into a nearby tree.

With a loud "boom", the tree shook, countless branches and leaves fell, and a half-inch-deep fist mark appeared on the trunk.

Shi Mu stared at the fist marks on the trunk of the tree, and raised his eyebrows.

This set of boxing methods is the only set of boxing methods he learned from the town's martial arts hall, and it is also the most widely spread body quenching martial art in Daqi.

According to the head of the martial arts hall, he can leave such deep traces on the trunk, and now there should be seven layers of quenching body, and there are only two layers left before the real quenching body can carry out the rumored qi comprehension.

And it took him four years!

You must know that the statement that the poor are rich and rich is definitely not unreasonable.

Since he decided to start practicing martial arts, the thirty taels of silver entrance fee for the martial arts hall alone was enough to save up for five or six months, and this fee was much lower than that of other disciples.

And the cost of many medicinal baths after starting to quench his body has made him devote all his fishing harvest in the past few years, so that he often has no money on him, and his family is even more destitute.

Even so, Shi Mu's ability to cultivate to such a high level of quenching body had already surprised everyone in the martial arts hall, and several sect leaders were even more amazed, thinking that his roots and bones were good, and he was born with martial arts materials.

After all, during this period, although he successively asked the martial arts pharmacist to prepare medicinal soup to wash his body, how could he really buy any spiritual herbs in the town with this little money, most of them were ordinary herbs, and the effect of quenching the body was minimal.

Thinking of this, Shi Mu sighed in his heart.

He knew very well that his root bones were very ordinary, and the reason why he was able to reach the current quenching level in just a few years was caused by another chance two years ago.

The reason why he didn't immediately agree to the old man in the green shirt to go to the Jin family was also for this reason.

Thinking of this, the young man looked up at the moonlight in the sky, then turned around and ran down the mountain.

A quarter of an hour later, Shi Mu appeared on the seashore with a reef, and jumped directly into the sea with a "poof", his arms paddling, his body twisting, and he dived down silently like a big fish.

In a short time, the people came to the depth of the sea more than thirty or forty zhang.

An astonishing scene occurred.

Under the originally dark seawater, a faint white light began to appear, and more and more, brighter and brighter, illuminating the nearby sea water.

Shi Mu was not surprised by this, he still held his breath, and after paddling down a few meters with his hands and feet, his body suddenly turned upside down, and his feet suddenly stepped on the sand, and he reached a seabed covered with white sand.

Only then can I see clearly that the faint white light emitted around the bottom of the sea was a dozen palm-sized shells, surrounded by a huge reef seven or eight feet high, flickering in the dark and flickering.

(Hehe, the whole world celebrates, the new book is released !!)
